English translation
[edit]I have a question about the English logic of that locution. I just wondered why isn't "force majeure" translated normally in English. I mean, it could easily be translated as "exceptional force", "major unexpected events", "major force" (simply) or others. So, why isn't it translated ? Louis-Philippe
- It has since been translated. -- Beland (talk) 17:33, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, I guess you meant in general use, not just the article. That happens with a lot of legal terms; it's just legal jargon that makes the speaker sound smarter, and if you ask me, snootier. -- Beland (talk) 18:22, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Cas fortuit and vis major
[edit]Actually they don't mean the same thing. Cas fortuit means something unpredictable, thus unavoidable (but only because of its lack of prediction). On the other hand, vis major means something unavoidable, even if correctly predicted (e.g.: a cyclone). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.85.122.142 (talk) 21:18, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Unexplained claim in France section
[edit]It currently says "Force majeure and cas fortuit are distinct notions in French Law.", but doesn't at all explain what the difference is, and in fact the term "cas fortuit" doesn't appear anywhere else in the article.--108.86.123.85 (talk) 07:44, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
